FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
POETRY OF THE PERIOD.
Whoe'er She Be, l Love Her.
THE CITIZEN.

l.
Through pleasures bowers wildly flew,
Deceiving maids, if tales be true,
Till love 3 lorn anguish made me sue
That one young Far-neck saw me.
Whose modest mien did awe me,
Who left my life TO hover
Ger deaths dark shade
The stainless maid,
Whoe'er she be, love herl
Her hair like quivering foliage flows
Her heart no thought of evil knows,
Her face with purest virtue CLOVIS,
Her fame all hate defyipg-
While for her crowds are dying,
And round deaths threshold hover,
Where L, for one
Am nearly gone
Whoc er she DE, love hert
What beauteous teeth, and lip, and neck,
And eye and brow the maiden deck:
What red and white her cheek bespeck!
Like wave-pois'd swan she's fairest,
In virtue high she's rarest;
In her may none discover
One deed 10 blame
Mild, modest dame,
Whoeer she be, love her!
But since soft ties are round us wove,
Which naught but death can e'er remove;
That balsam- bearing lip OF love
That spell bound left me dying
Now far together flying
The ocean biilow over,
Who can divide
From me my bride!
Whoe'er she be, love her.
V.
But first to Eirnes lovely lake,
Where maids are gay, our course we'll take,
Where generous chiefs bright banquets make
And purpe wine is flowing;
Then from our dear friends going,
Wen sail the ocean over,
/ and my dame
OF stainless fame
Whoe'er she be, love herl
VI
Her secret name I'll not impart,
Although she pierced my wandering heart,
With such death dispensing dart
As love-sick left ma lying,
In fiery torment dying
Till pity mild did move her
But wine or Spain
To her we'll drain,
Whoe'er she be, [ love herI

BURGLARS BAGGED.
The Goods Recovered aud Identi.
fled by the Owners.

hACu W sAAO ~ " nv
For the past month nearly each
morning the report OF burglary has
been chronicled, but strange to say in
each case the thieves have escaped.
On last Friday Constable Ed. Smith
arrested Dan Munroe ON a charge of
burglary at San Pedro. When taken
to the county Jail he made a confess
sian duplicating Dennis Sheely in the
crime. He explained that he fol-
lowed the trade of a house painter,
and that Sheely also dressed up in
the garb of a painter, and that while
he was legitimately at work Sheely
would rifle the houses which he was
painting. Last night Deputy Sher-
if Alexander returned from
San Pedro, having in charge
Sheely, whom he conveyed to the
county Jail and locked up on charge
of burglary. After Munroe was ar
rested his room in this city was
searched and rich harvest was
reaped. Concealed in almost all cor
ners of the room were found various
pieces of jewelry, ranging all the way
from diamond earrings to gold watches.
In his statement Munroe said that
Sheely came to him and proposed the
plan under which they subsequently
worked. He agreed, and they rob-
bed together.
A list of the stolen property recov-
cred was published few days ago,
and among the losers who recognized
their property are Captain f.
Thorn, w. j. Brodrick, A. c.
Atwood and Captain Risley.
When robbing Broderick's house,
Shecly was detected by a Chinese
domestic carrying off bundle and
the plucky Mongolian gave chase and
was rewarded by recovering the pack
age, which the thief dropped during
his flight. He escaped, but the
Chinaman has recognized him
as the culprit. Munroe, who
was assiduously welding the paint
brush on the staging on the
outside of the house was never sus-
pected. Captain Thom, who is at
Santa Monica at present, has identi,,
fed his property. A pistol found
among the stolen property has been
identified by Captain Risley as belong
ing to him. Maud Robinson, the
woman with whom Sheely was on in
innate terms, was also arrested
but was subsequently released, as
none of the stolen property could be
traced to her possession. There is
hardly any question but that the right
parties have been captured, which will
be more fully proved at the prelim-
mary examination which takes place
on Wednesday.

distance OF half a block. The body

THE ORANGE TRADE.
A Statistical Article by an Eastern
Journal.

New York, August 21.-EXperts at
the Foreign Fruit Exchange says the
Nail and Express do not agree with
the cabled opinion of the Italian Min
lister of Commerce that California can
supply the American market with or
anges and lemons throughout the
year. They insist that California is
only able to supply the country west
of the Rockies and Florida and
Louisiana supplies only small portion
of the oranges consumed and very
few of the lemons.
STATISTICS OF CONSUMPTION.
The statistics of the Exchange show
that Boston has received from Medi-
terranean ports. since January, 1887,
900. .446 boxes of oranges and 261 ,796
boxes of lemons; Philadelphia, 245 ,6l5
boxes oranges and 174,729 boxes
lemons; Baltimore, 14,5C3 boxes
oranges and 14,0S0 boxes lemons;
New Orleans, 55,S46 boxes oranges
and 17S. .222 boxes lemons; New York
city, I,055, ,296 boxes oranges and
,320,S7S boxes lemons.
THE YIELD ON THE INCREASE.
A well-informed fruit dealer said
that in few years this country would
not only produce all the oranges and
lemons that it could consume, but
would have a surplus.
CALIFORNIA; CROP.
California will produce one million
boxes of oranges this year and is in
,reasing her number of trees every
year. Florida will produce over one
million boxes this year, and in Lousi-
ana, where the crop was a failure last
year, there will be 800, 900 barrels this
year. and in three years from now
nearly double that quantity.
THE CONSUMPTION
)f oranges in this country now is less
han three million boxes every year,
md it will be increased more than two
Millions or three millions in the next
ew years. BY that time this county
will produce at least ten millions boxes
very year.
ADVICE TO ITALY.
The gentleman who supplies the |
Italian government with information |
n regard to the orange and lemon
of this country, says that |
lie has advised the Italians to seek |
ther markets for their fruit, as it is
My question of a few years when
his market will be closed to them by |
he excess of home production.

FRUITLESS FORGERY.
Clever Operations by Well Con.
nected WashingtOnians.

WASHINGTON. August 2l.-Harry T .
Cook, aged about 81 and Charles T.
Cook, his brother some years younger,
were arrested here this afternoon, the
elder for forgery and the younger for
collusion. Their plan of operations
was novel and ingenious, and but for
an oversight which they might have
easily avoided, they could have gone
on indefinitely in their course.
A CONFIDENTIAL POSITION.
Harry was discount clerk in the
Columbia National Bank, where he
had access to all the signatures and
accounts of the banks patrons. 1t has
been shown by investigation that he
some time ago disguised himself and
under an assumed name opened an
account in another bank. He then
forged the name of one of the Colum-
bia banks depositors to series of
checks, payable to himself under his
assumed name, and got his younger
brother to deposit them to their ac-
count.
HE DESTROYED THE RECORDS.
The checks were returned to the
Columbia Bank fer collection, and
after they had been paid in the books
were secured by the forger and des-
troyed. The culprits are sons of the
late Professor Cook of this city.

fsyrnes of Santa Rosa Seriously
Injured During "a Dispute.

SANTA Rosa, August PIN. Byrne,
proprietor of the Railroad House, was
seriously and probably fatally injured
this evening by being struck on the
head with large beer glass by San
Francisco blood who came up on the
excursion train this morning. The
man was in the barroom standing at
the bar, when he picked up the dinner
bell and commenced to ringi it. Byrnes
told him to put it down, which he re-
fused to do. He then applied an
epithet which enraged the man to
such an extent that he threw the beer
glass with the above result. The man
fled and has not yet been found.

Special to the HERALD.
SAUGus, August 21.-As the regular
passenger train from Santa Barbara to
Los Angeles was passing around a
curve eight miles west OF Saugus the
track spread and all the cars were de-
rallied except the rear one. The train
consisted OF seven cars, including one
baggage and express car, smoking car,
chair car, one Pullman and three reg
ular coaches, and was running at the
rate OF twenty miles an hour.
EFFECT ON THE TRAIN.
The baggage and smoker were rolled
down the bank, and the track was
torn up and the rails ruined for twenty
rods. The express messenger was
thrown out and into a baranca, while
the car fell over him without touch
ing him.

f. G. Baldwin of Pasadena was
badly bruised on the head; cut
on the body, Peter Ward; hurt on
side, J. T. Clark; scalp wound, G. c.
Sweet OF Pomona; a Herald reporter
hurt in the back.
DIFFICULTIES OF COMMUNICATIONS.
There was no telegraph station and
no instrument on board to attach to
the line. A freight train arrived be-
hind the wreck and San Francisco
excursion of ten cars soon came in the
rear, but had no telegraph instru-
ments. After two hours the tender
was got on the track and the engine
came to Saugus to telegraph for help.

Los Angeles and arrived at the wreck
about Z o'clock.
SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT.
The embankment where the acci-
dent happened was about twenty-five
feet high, and the passengers in the
upper end of the cars were thrown
with terrible force on to those on the
lower side. Seats and satchels and
were piled up in a heap in
great confusion. 1t is wonderful how
they escaped death.
THE RAILROAD ExONERATED.
No blame can be attached to any
one, as the track was new, well made
and in fine condition. The engineer,
Martin, handled his engine well,
throwing on the air-brakes with great
force. The engine, No. 152, was not
injured in the least.

talk, in which he called Thorndyke
foul names and later kicked him,
though not hurting him.
HE MEANT TO KILL HIM.

ing Ward said: 81 pointed my gun at
him, and he held up bucket to
guard his head, but l got at a small

broke, and l then went into the house
for an axe for the purpose of finishing
the Job, but could not find one. Isaw
hammer, and with that l finished
